DESCRIPTION

Legends “The Noble Heart” Mixed Media bust of General Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) gallantly poised to accept the agonizing and bitter defeat of the Confederate Army. Painfully aware of his heritage and role in history, he stands tall, erect and dignified, an enduring symbol of fortitude and magnanimity for the Southern people. The realistic portrayal of his stately demeanor, the intricate details of his features and military attire, and the lustrous finish of the piece suggest the pliability and warm hues of the Mixed Media used. A half-torso sculpture, it is mounted on a cylinder black marble base with white veins and a metal plaque affixed on the back. From Legends "The North & South Collection” Limited Edition #565/950 worldwide. Proudly made in the U.S.A. (1993). New in the original box.

Starlite Originals exclusively publishes the work of living American artists, featuring sculptures which range from the stunning intrigue of Western history and the natural beauty of endangered wildlife, to widely celebrated Native Americans and historical leaders, as well as Contemporary Modern Art. Fine artists such as Kitty Cantrell, Christopher Pardell, Willy Witten, Ron Lee, Danny Edwards and Robert Wyland to name a few have turned to Starlite Originals to bring their artist vision to life.

Artist ProfileWilly Whitten (STARLITE ORIGINALS STUDIO™)is that rarest of all artists: self-taught, yet acknowledged as a master craftsman. A gifted visionary, he is fluent in an extensive variety of media and techniques and has done several stints as a creative artist on more than two dozen major films in the last decade.

Most of the sculptures Whitten produced for Legends/Starlite Originals deal with the mystical and spiritual aspects of Native American culture. His fascination with the beauty and variety of the Native American costume and its wealth of symbolism has led to numerous hours of research and this attention to the varied textures and details of American Indian clothing and ornamentation gives each of his sculptures a special sense of authenticity.

To all his work, Whitten brings expressiveness and realism that translates into fine art that is not only authentically presented, but also beautiful to behold.
